This new version of Chi's Sweet Home is kinda of weird and utterly unlike the previous incarnation. They're doing digital claymation effect instead of just plain animation. Not sure how I feel about it until I watch it.

Logos

This is a neat Pixiv site: He's created large size versions of all kinds of logos from anime. He started with doing all the team logos for Girls und Panzer and then did all the squadron logos for Strike Witches, and then did a bunch of things I didn't recognize.

I did spot the Bentenmaru logo, and there are a bunch of logos for the Fleet of Fog which I think he created. They're all gorgeous and huge.

I did my preview a long time ago on a day when I didn't have anything else to post, and a lot's changed since them. I just took a look at the preview for Izetta and she's a witch that can fly. But she doesn't ride a broom; she rides a Barrett Long Rifle.

Summer 2016 review

Ubu Roi has one of his very
rare posts, this one being a review of all the stuff he's watched this season. It provides additional evidence, if it were needed, that I'm not missing anything by not following any show this season.

I'm collecting Ange Vierge but not really watching it regularly, and Dragon Ball Super is "watch when I feel like it", which isn't very often because the current "Black Goku" arc is really phenomenally stupid. It rivals the "Majin Bu" arc in DBZ for brain damage.

DBZ took the power-inflation curve up to absurd levels, and Dragon Ball Super begins where DBZ left off and has hyped the power levels up even further.

His selection is just... special. No ReLIFE, no Saiki, no Planetarian. No Love Live Sunshine, no Amanchuu. Not even Sweetness and Lightning. It's as if he selected everything worst and rejected everything best on purpose. Granted, re:Zero received a critical acclaim, so there's a bit of intersect. If one wants a decent snapshot of a season, people like Chris Siebenman do a better job with a more comprehensive list.

No I didn't. I said I might look at Beserk, and Dr. Heinous was enjoying Mob Psycho.

This is a classic case of "what you like is what you like, what I like is what I like." I don't care about a guy that gets to re-live his high-school days. I hated mine, so why should I? Sweetness and Lightning sounds like I'd puke from saccharine. Ditto for most of Pete's list.

Hentai x Hentai

Ubu has done a public service by delving deep into HxH, including reading 7 of the light novels. He has two posts about it (one, two) which convince me even more that I want nothing to do with that series.
